Only a short distance away An old woman sat with lot of bags next to a young woman who was traveling in a busy bus. With all these bags, most of the people on board felt angry.  Why don't you respond? Why didn't you tell the old woman to put those bags down? The man who sat opposite to them asked. Then the young woman replied with a smile, Why should I give so much importance to such a small thing? Want to get angry or argue? I'm getting off at the next stop, and we're only a short distance away from this trip together.  In fact, in that answer, the young woman said something relevant in life, which should be written in golden letters What is the significance of a dispute and a quarrel when we are only a short distance away from this journey together?  What if each of us realizes that our lives are so fleeting and short that we should not be overshadowed by quarrels, unnecessary arguments, gratitude, or impatience? Has anyone broken your heart? Forgive them, because thi...

     Once I had a great opportunity to make a presentation on "Self Directed Team and Organizational Development" to my teacher and a great mentor  Girinarayan G , one of his favorite subjects is organisation development. I always see that energy and the passion he has while talking about organization development (OD). I gained invaluable insights on how important is human resources (HR) in any company.  There is a general ignorance towards the HR department as they are non production departments in the company, yet these are the very same people who hire the talent needed for a company.   During our sessions on OD, self directed teams was one such topic, I was chosen to make a presentation, after learning about self directed teams, I remembered back in the initial days at Caerus Skillmatic when I experienced this without knowing about its benefits.      This is a story of how our small department in Caerus Skillmatic got introduced t...

Read this as if you are reading a fiction story. You do not have to believe this.   I am going to share about two experiences that I got which cannot be explained with any scientific evidence. These experience are so unreal I don't know if it is worth sharing.  I grew up in a religiously strict family. My mom used to go to church everyday and she is very religious, she have the strongest belief in God our family, she never used to complain, she always depended on God for help for any troubles in life . As a custom she used to send me to retreat centers once or twice every year. It is was very important for her that I have a spiritual retreat and be close to God.   I really didn't like it. I will have to go away from home and stay at a place for a week and pray continuously, it was boring.   First experience - Angel Valley Source : Google Maps I was 11 or 12 of age when visited Angel valley for first time. I liked this place very much away from the city, so ...

Image Credit Artist : A.Fairy  Introduction   I have a great love for art, I don't know why but I love to stare at paintings for a long time. I wish to know the meaning behind every art and see the story but my primary school art teacher Shajee Chelad   said that " the aim of an art or an artist is not to tell the meaning or the story, it is to showcase a medium where the viewer can visualize his or her own story by themselves. The story the artist see will not be the same as the story the viewer have. "  His words made a great difference in the way I viewed art.            The freedom of an art. A single art with explanations that are multidimensional.  The same picture or painting that have so many stories to say. Is there something like this that can say multiple stories at a single time?  I always tried to draw and paint pictures and it all ended up ugly, I will need more practice. I forgot most of the things Shajee si...

                                            If you have read my previous post related to  Artificial Intelligence : Our Future  ,  20 Predictions For The Future  and  20 Predictions For The Future  Part 2 , you will see that I am having a highly positive outlook toward our future. I wrote it that way because I like to see the positive side of things all the time and then examine the negative side. There is always a negative side for everything.    There is a sleeping dragon behind innovations. It is important that we are aware of it and never wake him up. The dragon must not be disturbed or be in the hands of evil.   In this post, I will be diving deep down on the negative sides of artificial intelligence and our future. However I wish that the following will never happen or ...

  A Day Of A Ryanair Customer Service Manager I am fortunate to meet Wera, who is a customer service manager at Ryanair in Europe. ( Due to privacy reasons I will not be mentioning the place where this occurred. )   Don't know why but we became good friends in a few days. We talked about our interests, our family, the difference in our culture and so on. One fine day, the topic of our discussion was about work life and she mentioned how tough her day could get and the incidents that happen at her work. Talking to her I could see she is a leader. I asked her to explain about her work in detail so that I could learn few leadership lessons. She replied she is no leader, she just love to help people to her best as possible . The following is our conversation about her day in her job and an incident that happen. The Beginning In her own words : It was an extremely hard day for us, as I have been working for 5 year at the airport I haven't seen such bad weather, the fog covered...

I am trying to interpret a video I saw a few day back of a guy dancing at a music festival.  I learned many things about leadership from this video and I would love to share it with you.  This was at Sasquatch music festival 2009. If you have not watched the video, I suggest you to watch the video to see how one guy started a dance party at a music festival. This video have gone pretty viral in the internet.  At the beginning of the video you saw a guy dancing alone to the music without any regards to the people around him, he is just there enjoying his moment in the sun. He is our hero, the fearless leader .   Our fearless leader is marketing his idea on "enjoying the moment" to the public. At watching this I am cringing and also admiring his bravery to dance in the public like that. To be honest those are some ridiculous moves and he must be drunk. Business first and ego second. He is teaching me not to care about what others think, focus on yourself...
